Soul Care Healing: The Podcast

What if leadership wasn’t about being the loudest in the room, but about creating spaces where every voice counts?   In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I talk about the Outer Game of Leadership. This is part two of my leadership mini-series, and it’s all about how we show up in the world as leaders, not just for ourselves, but for the people around us.   I share why listening is a true superpower, how to create environments where ideas can flow (it’s not just in boardrooms), and why confidence in leadership isn’t about having all the answers, but knowing when to step...

What if the real secret to being a brilliant leader isn’t in the boardroom but in the way you wake up, wind down, and carry yourself when no one’s clapping?   In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m talk about the inner game of leadership. Because leadership isn’t about titles. It’s about how you show up in your mornings, your nights, and the quiet moments no one else sees.   I’ll share why accountability (not deflection) separates the good from the great, how to let go of past wounds that keep you stuck, and why confidence is a muscle you build one small win at a...

What are your kids learning from the way you work and live, balance or burnout?   In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m talking about something that sits right at the heart of my work and my why - breaking the cycle of generational burnout.   I share what I’ve learned from my own brushes with burnout, the subtle signs to look out for, and the wellbeing promises I keep to myself to stay steady. Together, we talk about how the way we live, work, and rest is teaching the next generation either to survive in exhaustion or thrive in confidence and wellbeing.   If you’ve...

Do you ever feel like self-doubt is running the show, even when you know deep down you’re capable?   In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m getting real about the voice we all know too well: self-doubt. I share my own story of how it shows up for me, even as a coach, and the surprising way I shift it in the moment.   You’ll learn how to spot the difference between your true voice and the echo of other people’s criticism.

Soul Care Healing: The Podcast

How do you keep parenting, leading, and showing up when grief knocks the wind out of you?   In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m speaking straight to my high-functioning women who are holding families, businesses, and careers together while quietly carrying the weight of grief. I know what it feels like, the celebrations, the meetings, the obligations don’t stop, even when your heart is breaking.   You’ll learn why honouring your grief isn’t weakness but a form of strength. I share practices that support your nervous system regulation when the waves roll in, from...

Do you ever feel like you’re holding it all together on the outside, while quietly crumbling on the inside with high-functioning burnout?   In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m talking about the truth so many high-functioning women carry in silence, the fear of admitting when we’re struggling. I share why acknowledging your cracks doesn’t take away from your strength, it deepens it.   You’ll hear why vulnerability is the doorway to real leadership and joy. I walk you through affirmations you can start using today, and why repetition is more than just self-talk,...

Soul Care Healing: The Podcast

Being capable, high-achieving, and the one who gets things done is powerful. But it can come with a shadow side, other people’s judgments, labels, and negativity. And if you’re not careful, those voices can become louder than your own truth.   In this episode, I share my personal story of the labels I’ve been given (some uplifting, some brutal) and the impact they had on my confidence. We’ll talk about why we often let criticism weigh heavier than compliments, and how to reframe the voices that try to pull you down.   You’ll walk away with practical tools to release the...

Soul Care Healing: The Podcast

Being high-functioning can feel like your greatest strength. You hold it all together, achieve big things, and look unstoppable from the outside. But what happens when that drive starts running the show instead of you?   In this episode, I share the shadow side of success that nobody talks about. From blurred boundaries to creeping burnout. I walk you through the ways high-functioning energy can move from a superpower to a thief of confidence, connection and joy.   You’ll leave with clarity on how to reclaim your confidence, set boundaries without guilt, and choose conviction over...

Soul Care Healing: The Podcast

Have you ever woken up one day and thought… “Who even am I anymore?” In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m talking about what happens when life shakes you so hard that the confident, steady version of you feels like a total stranger. Whether it’s parenting shifts, relationship endings, or even retirement, those moments can strip back everything you thought you knew about yourself. I’ll walk you through simple, grounding practices to help you recalibrate when your confidence feels like it’s slipped through your fingers. You’ll learn how to use pen-to-paper exercises to...

Soul Care Healing: The Podcast

What if persistence isn’t about pushing harder, but about slowing down, regulating your nervous system, and backing yourself with patience? In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m sharing the truth about patience, persistence, and why putting yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s survival. We often think persistence means grinding and patience means waiting quietly, but when you’re a high-achieving woman, both can tip you into high-functioning burnout if you’re not paying attention to your body’s signals. You’ll hear me talk about how nervous system dysregulation fuels...

SEASON 2, EP 7 - See Through Their Eyes: The Beauty of a Child’s Witness

Children have a way of seeing the world that’s unlike anything else—full of curiosity, wonder, and fresh perspectives. In this episode, we explore the profound beauty of viewing life through a child’s eyes and the invaluable lessons their perspective can offer us as adults.

I share a personal story of seeing an event through the lens of a child’s photos and how it completely shifted my understanding of that moment. From the candid insights children share to the unique way they process big topics like loss, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and create space for the kids in your life to express themselves fully.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • The unexpected insights gained from viewing a child's photos taken at a familiar event.

  • How a child's perspective can shift our understanding of family moments and shared experiences.

  • The importance of listening to children without immediately responding, allowing them to express themselves fully.

  • Navigating sensitive topics like death with children by observing their cues and creating a safe space for questions.

  • The value of letting children experience life through their own lens, even if it means embracing technology like mobile phones.
